PB Walleye on Custom Tackle
« on: 11/11/19 10:35 UTC »
Over the weekend I landed my personal best Walleye, finally exceeding the 30" mark. Many seasons of coming up just shy of that magical number, but now it is here!
To make things even better, she was caught out of a local river here in Iowa on 100% custom gear. A 1/4oz Teardrop rigged with a Florida Grape Zipper Goby was enough to trick this old monarch. Unfortunately I did not get an official weight on her, but based on the online calculators for Walleye weights, she would have likely come just shy of the Iowa state record with the measurements of 30 3/4" in length and 18 7/8"of girth.

She was released for another angler to enjoy. Thrilled!

  Wow what a pretty fish. Nice job ! I'm impressed with the width of that fish for a river fish.

Awesome eye Brennan. You can go along time and never catch one like that if at all. But than again with slot limits a reduced limits it has really helped the size of eye’s by me.

Love the straight, un-painted, lead head. I've gone to that pretty much for my walleye fishing. Sauger seem to like some color but walleye will just nail baits with un-painted heads.

Thank you! You are absolutely right, especially in this state. Unfortunately we don't have slots in place on a good majority of our waters, other than select pools on the Mississippi and a few lakes that desperately needed them. We spend a lot of money to stock them but we don't protect them. Too many harvesters and not enough sportsman. Is what it is!
